RESEARCH INTERESTSMy interests lie in translational science as it relates to biophysical neuroscience, from experimental design and implementation to product development and biotechnology startups. I am a graduate student in Dr. Debra Fadool’s laboratory and my thesis research focuses on the development and application of peptide bound nanoparticles as novel drug delivery molecules to aid in targeting and tracking following delivery. Dr. Fadool’s laboratory studies the connection between olfaction and metabolism and our target is a voltage-gated potassium channel with implications in metabolic disorders.
